Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 245

"I'm not talking to you. You're not qualified to argue with me. I only talk to your boss."

As he said this, his eyes shot towards Xu Lei, as if he wanted to settle things with Xu Lei.

"Who are you talking to here? I gave this property certificate to Xu Lei voluntarily."

You don't need to be jealous of me here. Let me tell you, I did all of this voluntarily.

I will have it notarized and the land will be paid for. What benefit do you expect from obstructing this?

I advise you to stop embarrassing me here and go back to America. I'll just pretend I never had a son like you.

The old man had spoken harshly, and Gao Jian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Dad, am I really your son? This is a big deal for our family."

How could you be so hasty? Do you think I'm doing all this to betray my principles?

You have a granddaughter and a son, and now you're going to take the side of outsiders?

You've really disappointed me. Our family still has to keep going.

I did this to try and get more for my family, didn't I?

In the end, it seems like all the selfishness was caused by me, while you, so great, just handed over all that money.

I could never do such a thing. In any case, I still have to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die.

"You just don't need to worry about anything, you can just eat and drink as usual, Dragon."

Xu Lei was extremely helpless, and Xiao Qiang was also looking at his son who claimed to be very filial.

He's really something, managing to portray himself as a filial son in no time at all.

It seemed as if no one in the world understood him, and Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

He didn't want to get involved in these things in the first place, and Xu Lei wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Alright, alright, I understand now. Gao Jian, you should take this property certificate."

I never intended to ask the old lady for this, and you don't need to get so angry with her. (1)

Ultimately, he's your father, your family. No matter the reason, you shouldn't have said those things today.

After Xu Lei finished speaking, a hint of reproach appeared in his eyes; after all, even he, an outsider, couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Chapter 286 Losing Money Deal (1)

Xiao Qiang pursed his lips when he heard what his boss said. 6

"And they call themselves intellectuals or people who studied abroad? I doubt their quality." 7

As soon as Xiaoqiang said this, Gao Jian immediately glared at him, somewhat unconvinced, and Xiaoqiang retorted. (1)

He wasn't the kind of person to be bullied; the other party dared to glare at him like that.

While I was out exploring the world, he was probably somewhere playing in the mud. 5

“You don’t need to yell at me, this is your old man.”

After saying that, his eyes held a hint of questioning, and he was told to just stay put.

If he dares to cause any trouble outside, I'll be the first to not let him off the hook.

Moreover, Gao Jian was extremely rude to him and his boss, acting all high and mighty.

Xiaoqiang had disliked him for a long time.

"I don't believe it. Your project has already started."

You're anxious, but you can only pretend to be calm. I know you business people best.

You guys are better than anyone else at saying one thing and doing another, so...

Even if you say you're not in a hurry at all, I won't believe you.

But I won't give you this land so easily. Show me your sincerity first.

Before Gao Jian could finish speaking, Xu Lei quickly made 207 pause gestures, finding his words increasingly grating.

Is this guy having some kind of delusional disorder? He seems to think that everyone in the world can't live without him.

Hearing this, Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless.

"You'd better watch yourself. I've already said I don't want this land anymore, so I'm in a real hurry to find a job right now."

However, we've also discussed it with the engineers, and we can go around this spot.

It's just a matter of spending a few hundred thousand more, but if I really agree to your request...

If I were to give up this land, all the residents would come back to me demanding their money back.

By then, I'll have gained nothing but trouble, since you are knowledgeable and cultured.

You should know better than me how to settle this, shouldn't you?

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he kept his eyes silently fixed on him.

It seemed she wanted him to think things through before making a decision, since she had no intention of forcing him.

Everyone is calculating their own interests in this back-and-forth, and Xu Lei wouldn't do such a losing deal.

Now that he's brought it up, Xu Lei might as well just say it all outright.

"What? You want to cross my land? How is that possible? If you cross my land, how do you plan to run your factory?"

Gao Jian's eyes clearly showed a hint of panic, and he even wondered if Xu Lei had set a trap for him.

Or perhaps it was a play he put on with his own father.

"You've all been putting on an act, haven't you? Let me tell you, don't think I don't understand engineering. I've had someone calculate your figures."

If you can't get around me, then get around me.

As Gao Jian spoke, he became increasingly less confident, while the determination in Xu Lei's eyes seemed genuine.

But how can I bypass this place? That would cost so much money.

"As you said, it's possible that going around this place would cost a lot of money, but..."

I made that clear to Director Li when I first acquired this place.

I must treat everyone equally, otherwise I'll give them more.

If we give them less, everyone will feel uncomfortable, so I'll just accept the loss.

Actually, your behavior really annoyed me. I don't have anything else, except that I have a little more money.

So, by being a little more diplomatic and making them spend some time and effort getting around your territory, I can manage it.

When Xu Lei said this, the other party was completely taken aback, having no idea that things could be handled this way.

Moreover, Xu Lei looked completely calm, not at all like he was acting with him. Now it's Gao Jianhuang's turn to act.

Xu Lei's extremely calm face made him feel somewhat suffocated. How could this guy be so calm?

It seemed as if everything had been planned out in advance, everything was the same, and he could hardly believe it.

He even wondered if he had made a mistake. Old Master Gao was somewhat helpless when he saw his son like this.

"I told you long ago, don't treat everyone like a fool. They've done business and trade too, so don't assume they do everything the same way you do."

Grandpa Gao was somewhat embarrassed, feeling that his son was really too foolish.

Not only in everything he does, he always schemes and plots, but in the end he doesn't gain any benefit at all.

Where can one reason with this? Gao Jian still couldn't hide his surprise when he heard this, feeling that everything he had done was wrong.

There should be no mistake, so how come I didn't get any benefit at all?

Therefore, this lack of confidence and doubt had completely defeated him.

They even wondered if they had made a mistake somewhere, or if they had been bewitched, leading them to this point.

"You were just bragging to me, what are you so arrogant about? Your own Lao Xue has already been bought at rock-bottom prices."

You think we can't function without you, that we have nothing to offer besides you.

That's ridiculous. The earth keeps turning no matter who's gone. Don't think you're so great.

We simply don't want to deal with you; if we really wanted to mess with you, we could easily get our hands on you.

Xiao Qiang felt extremely relieved at this moment, and after saying this, he even gave Xu Lei a triumphant gesture.

Xu Lei shook his head helplessly. This guy was still like a child. It took Gao Jian, the assassin, a long time to react to this divine revelation.

"So, you have an inseparable emotional connection to this land."

Then you can keep this land and this property certificate, and we naturally won't require you to transfer the ownership.

So you should go back, but we will also report this to the relevant authorities.

After all, once this shopping mall is built, with all sorts of parking lots, we'll definitely be buying goods from the surrounding area on weekdays.

I will wrap it in sheet metal to protect your privacy.

It can provide some sound insulation, but I'm not sure exactly how much.

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he smiled slightly at her, revealing a friendly expression. Xu Lei never forces anyone to buy or sell in business.

"See? You're dumbfounded, aren't you? You thought you could outsmart me, huh?"

You think you have everything under your control? How come you're the only smart one in the world?

Others don't even think about how to plan for themselves.

Old Master Gao felt somewhat helpless as he realized he was dumbfounded.

He was even too speechless to complain that this was his own son, and that he was being too harsh.

Saying it lightly doesn't feel satisfying, it's really frustrating. Now everyone understands how the situation has been handled.

At the very least, one should have a sense of proportion and not act so resolutely.

Chapter 287 Arrogance

"Then let's discuss it again."

The other person's voice trembled as they pleaded, wanting Xu Lei to reconsider.

Gao Jian's sudden admission of weakness made Xiao Qiang feel incredibly disappointed; he had been so arrogant just moments before.

Now you turn around and admit you were wrong? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"I may not have been very clear just now. We don't necessarily want to raise prices here."

You and my dad have a good relationship, so we can talk about this again. It's not like it's something that makes Fides lose face.

As Gao Jian spoke, his tone gradually softened, and Xiao Qiang snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"This isn't what you call not tearing off the mask of civility; they're making everyone lose face."

This is a real argument. Look at you, you're out there too, how come you're the only one whose brain gets dumber the more you study?

Smart, right? There's no such thing as everyone having to revolve around you.

You should open your eyes and see; the world has changed a lot.

Xiaoqiang's eyes held a warning as he spoke, telling him to behave.

"Stop trying to do weird things and daydream here," Xu Lei said with an awkward cough.

"I came here today for two reasons: first, to see the old man; and second, because the old man has already arrived here."

I must treat you well. Now that you've arrived, please take your father home.

After saying that, Xu Lei turned around and wanted to leave the office. If he stayed any longer, someone might die.

Xu Lei didn't want to argue with him any further; it seemed Xu Lei had made up his mind not to discuss the business with him anymore.

The other party immediately backed down to Gao Jian, but they were hoping to get as much as possible out of the house.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lei went even further, intending to bypass their area entirely, and the paperwork was almost complete.

Gao Jian had no idea whatsoever. When Old Master Gao heard the news, he was so angry that he let out a cold snort.

"Dad, aren't you on good terms with him? You should go and ask him what's going on right now."

Xu Lei was stunned when he heard that there was no future in this project.
